Idaho Senate Approves Bill Making Assisted Suicide a Felony...

While the country is focused on Wisconsin and other high-profile battles, little ol' Idaho keeps chugging along.  While Washington state, driven by those living east of the Cascades, Oregon, and Montana think killing old or sick people is a good idea, you may consider yourself safe in Idaho. 

From LifeNews:

While surrounding states like Washington and Oregon pushed ahead to become the first in the nation to legalize assisted suicide and Montana could be right behind them, Idaho passed a bill to make the practice a felony.

The Idaho Senate voted overwhelmingly Friday to do that and to revoke licenses from physicians who prescribe a lethal cocktail of drugs for patients to use to kill themselves. The law also allows people to get injunctions to prevent others from killing themselves with a doctor’s help. If it becomes law, those found guilty face five years in prison.  read the rest
